    Vx Spac manual help please

    The gearbox in the V8's (T56) takes DX3 ATF but the getrag box in the V6's takes 75W-85. Hope this helps.

    Cold start hsv

    Could be the starter motor on the way out. Had a similar problem where if I was driving it everyday it would sometimes struggle in the mornings and be fine after that. Didn't drive it for a week and it really started to struggle. Replaced starter motor and problem solved.

    Brakes (general stuff)

    I've got dba cross drilled and slotted rotors with bendix pads on my VZ and they stop really well, highly recommended. Front pads - Bendix GCT Disc Pads DB1765GCT Rear pads - Bendix GCT Disc Pads DB1766GCT I found these guys were competitive with price and really helpful

    Low beam globes in VX Monaro

    100w is probably drawing a bit too much for headlights. I'd try to find some 55w versions, I think you'll find they're the same wattage as the ones in there at the moment.

    What oil for my 05 sv6

    As above, any 5W-30 full synthetic oil will be best suit. Penrite - HPR5 5W-40 Valvoline - Synpower 5W-30 DX1 Nulon - 5W-30 As for the transmission a synthetic is also the best option. The spec is Dexron IV which can be found in a few multi vehicle automatic transmission fluids such as...

    Chrome Door Handles

    Looking to put chrome door handles on the exterior of my VX Commodore. Just wondering if I have to buy the whole handle assembly and get it painted, or can I just replace the handle on the current one with the chrome handle bit? Hope this makes sense, Chris.

    Catback exhaust on my VY S

    A) It will fit your ute. The LSD won't effect it. B) 2.5" is the ideal width for a V6 performance exhaust, it's also the most common. C) I've got a Redback 2.5" catback exhaust with a resonator on it and I love the sound, it's not too loud and not too quiet. Check out my exhaust video - YouTube...

    Painting Rims

    Your local auto parts store should have 'wheel paint' in an aerosol can. You can use that if you want the cheaper option.

    VX S pack auto

    They certainly did do a manual S pack. I've got one. I don't think they did a Manual Supercharged version though.

    Knocking Sound

    According to my mechanic it is my CV joint. I'll be replacing it soon and I'll report on how it went.

    Knocking Sound

    Not sure if it does it in reverse.. and yeah it doesn't do it when the foot is off the accelerator going slow, pretty sure anyway. It's due for a service anyway so I'll take it to my mechanic later on this week and he can check it out.

    Knocking Sound

    It's several knocks every time I accelerate, both straight and going around a bend. Doesn't happen when I take my foot of the accelerator.

    Knocking Sound

    It's not just a small knock, it's quite loud which is why I'm worried about it. What diff oil would you recommend? And what is the additive?
  28. chrism182

    Knocking Sound

    Yeah it is an LSD. Nope didn't put the oil in myself got the local Tyrepower to do it during the service when I first bought it. Not sure if they put the additive in. Cheers.

    Hey mate I've got a VX S and I've got a Redback 2.5" catback exhaust. Stock headers and cat. Here's a clip of it, I highly recommend Redback. - YouTube - Redback 2.5" Exhaust - VX Commodore

    [VIC] Exhausts?

    I recommend the Redback systems, I have one on my VX and it gives out a great note, with no drone and it's not over the top loud. I also get better fuel economy.

    I think you need a whole new LSD diff. Not 100% sure though.

    Hooking up 6x9's.

    Thanks again, I'll probably do it one day when I'm bored as I didn't install the head unit and I don't feel like undoing everything to get to the back of it.
